    Gabe I have to see pictures of your ng17 Run we have the exact same setup motor wize and you put the battery in the same spot I did mine I have not done the flex shaft install yet but I would really like to know what shaft in all you bought and what it cost and where to get it so that I can do it with mine. Please send me a video or post a video of this is running so I can see how she did

      I basically used everything from the mini mono... I just have to figure out what strut/rudder assembly I want to buy. It should be just as fast as the mini mono, except it wouldn't turn anywhere as good as it

You have to get a video posted that's going to be great to see

          where you cut the old shaft of did you have to glue the bottom with resin or anything so that way water wouldn't leak into it or is it already sealed off

                  Drove the thing for about 30ft and it spit the wire drive out...

                  Put the UL-1 in and did a couple laps and spit the flex shaft out as well... Lol awesome!

                    that's crazy. I hope you got some video I would like to see that. Didn't seem like it was going fast or not? Well I don't know if I told you're not around my last night and I ended up blowing the esc again. I'm going to a 50 amp as for some reason this is the second one I have blown. I'm running the same setup as the mini mono.let me know if you come up with a good combination for split shot that works. Well also some funny news I opened up the leopard box for that motor I was telling you about and the motor is so small its funny so I think I'm just going to put it back online for sale and go ahead and pick up the one that mean Gaber talking about. Either that or picking up something like a traxxas combo setup

                      Zack.

                      Are you talking about putting the set up from your spartan in 17MG?

                        No way that would be funny though. But wasn't too out something that can a little bigger motor in brushless. With a larger esc like a 50 or 100

                          What motor is it? Just because these motors are small doesn't mean that they wont be fast! A smaller can size motor will actually perform better as you would get that crazy torque roll and it will handle better while still going very fast...
